Pittsburgh Penguins Shirts . -- Runs could be scarce when Toronto Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ and Oakland As lefty Rich Hill square off in the finale of a three-game series Sunday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum.Happ is 12-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 18 starts this season in his second stint with the Blue Jays. Hill is 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts in his first season with the As.Hill was initially scheduled to pitch Friday night against Toronto, but his start was pushed back two days because of two blisters on the middle finger of his left hand. Hill said a blister developed late in his final start before the All-Star break against Houston and that another one appeared after he had a long throwing session on flat ground three days later on July 10.Its fine now, Hill said Saturday. Theres no issues. It feels good. .... I think it was more of a precautionary thing than anything, to make sure it was 100 percent healed. And we had the time to do that.Hill signed a one-year, $6 million contract as a free agent with the As during the offseason. Now hes drawing considerable interest from teams throughout baseball as the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline approaches.Staying focused on the task at hand has not been a problem, Hill said.I think just focusing in on your daily routine and sticking with what you do on a day-in and day-out basis, so its not about anything else thats going on outside of what you can control, Hill said. Ive said that all year long.Happ has been on a roll since being traded by Seattle to Pittsburgh on July 31 last season. He went 7-2 with a 1.85 ERA in 11 starts for the Pirates then stayed hot after re-signing with the Blue Jays, with whom he played for from 2012-2014.That was the plan, that was the goal definitely, Happ said of picking up where he left off in Pittsburgh. I think just trying to be consistent. I always say thats the hardest thing in this game, but I do feel Im in a better place mentally for sure. And with my mechanics I feel like Im able to make adjustments. Just trying to stay there.Happ has gone 6-0 in his past six starts with an ERA of 2.95, 41 strikeouts and eight walks. He earned his 12th win, matching his career single-season high, on July 8, blanking Detroit over 5 2/3 innings. Happ struck out nine and walked one.Happ went 12-4 with Philadelphia in 2009 when he made 35 appearances, including 23 starts.According to Happ, one of the reasons hes having such a good season is that hes not as tough on himself as he used to be.Thats always been an issue of mine, Happ said. Thats probably part of the reason why I got here, but its also sometimes a negative for me because I can be pretty tough and I can carry it over for a long time. I feel like Im getting better about turning the page. I have a little better perspective about the game and everything. I think thats helped, some of the experiences Ive had.Happ will face an As team that won the first two games of the series, hitting three home runs each time, and can complete a sweep with a victory Sunday. Happ has allowed 13 home runs over 112 1/3 innings this season.

The Gold Coast beckons for two of Tony McEvoys two-year-olds after a one-two finish in the main juvenile race at Ballarat.Despatch and Nistaan provided the quinella for McEvoy in the Magic Millions 2YO Clockwise Classic on Saturday.The pair should now have earned enough prizemoney to tackle $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast in January.Ridden by Luke Nolen, Despatch ($9) held off stablemate Nistaan ($10) by a short head, with the $2.70 favourite, American Genius, two lengths away in third.Despatch and Nistaan were part of a group of six horses McEvoy trialled at Ballarat in the clockwise direction over three seperate sessions.McEvoys Melbourne foreman Michael Shepherdson said Despatch and Nistaan had trialled well and the stable believed they were the best placed to handle the Ballarat Cup meeting.Despatch jumped cleaner in his trial aand we thought he would put himself up there while the other guy, when he gets to a bigger track and has the chance to wind up, that will suit him, Shepherdson said.
